After thinking about it for a while, I realized that my only *real*
objection was that I was afraid that I couldn't still deal with
pcmcia-source's "debian/rules build" if I moved all my stuff to
/usr/local/src, because I thought it hard coded the kernel location as
/usr/src/linux.
After poking around, I realized that
debian/rules KSRC=/usr/local/src/linux-2.1.79 foo
would do what I wanted, so I moved all my stuff to /usr/local/src, and
things have been fine ever since...
